Unknown or other in this case would likely relate to "power train" and/or "electrical," but definitely relates to public safety. The ignition tumbler releases the key in any position--park, neutral, drive, or low--rather than in only park. Drivers of cars with manual transmissions are accustomed to setting hand brakes using gears. Prior the the date of incident above, i recall moving slightly forward on a slight…

Lost parking function on the transmission. Parking function is missing causing the vehicle to move after i park the car. Didn't realize until after i parked my car. Was walking towards the building that i noticed that the car was rolling back and had to run back, unlock the car and then push the brake. After investigating realized that the "p" function was missing. Did hear a huge clunking noise when i tried to park…

My car is equipped with the 6f35 6 speed automatic transmission and has been experiencing lingering defects. I took my car in to a ford dealership in late november 2011 and notified them of transmission problems. My invoice reads, reprogram pcm to latest level and reset fluid level per tsb 11-11-23. The problems continue. I will admit that the flaring problem has improved, although the remaining problems persist…

This is the second time this has happened within a two months. Brought the…

When this accident happened i had it towed to crest ford…

The transmission fails to shift from 2nd to 3rd gear at the proper time which results in the car stuttering later as the problem worsens the car starts hesitating to accelerate and then hard shifts which jolts the car. This problem progressively gets worse with incidents becoming more frequent and with harsher jolt that feel like your car is being rear ended. Permanent damage will occur. Since the problem occurs at…

I have a ford fusion with about 35,500 miles. I bought the car used with about 18,000 miles and noticed inconsistent shifting right away. Then progressed into not shifting back into gear right away after shifting out of reverse. I took it in and they reprogrammed the transmission and the service supervisor said that this transmission adapts to the owners driving habits. Took it in again about a month later and they…

My wife was turning left into a parking space in a parking lot at 2mph or less when the vehicle suddenly accelerated at high rpms. Our vehicle slammed into the vehicle to the right of the space my wife would have entered. Heavy damage was caused to our veh. And to the parked veh. My wife was unsure if she had caused the acdt or if it was a mechanical defect. Because of the very heavy and rapid acceleration, i didn't…

I was stopped at a traffic light, it turned green and stepped on the gas pedal and the car immediately started to rough idle, the wrench indicator lit up and would not move forward. There was minimal response to throttle input. I was able to pull off the road out of traffic to a safe spot. I left the car running to see what was going on. The tachometer was fluctuating mainly downward as it idled rough. After about…

When i was driving my 2010 ford fusion the wrench light came on and the car lost all power and stalled out. Luckily i wasn't in front of a truck or on the freeway. Very scary my car only has 15391 miles on it. This car was also leaking oil. I am not happy with this car. When i took it to the dealer this problem didn't show up at first so the service person kept the car longer and finally it did the same thing and…

Does not seem to shift gears when driving. Shifts hard when changing from reverse to drive. Also feels like transmission drops randomly when driving at high and low speeds. Car has been into the dealer on 4 separate occasions over 9…

Traveling on the street at about 40 mph, car shuddered to a stop. Engine light came on. Had car towed home. Car started the next day. Carefully drove the car to the ford dealer. They replaced the throttle body. The throttle body should not be failing at 60000 miles. This should be a recall. *tr

I previously sent a complaint because my car kept stalling, wrench light would come on, but when i turned car off then turned on, it would run, but then they couldn't get the codes. Based on my internet research, looks like 2010 fusions are having this problem between 30,000 and 50,000 and it is always the throttle body that needs to be replaced. The dealership would not replace the throttle body because the codes…

While driving my 2010 ford fusion down a very busy main road in atlanta, it died. I was lucky that i was able to get over into the right hand lane without being able to accelerate and get onto a side street to park. The dealer replaced the throttle under warranty, but less than a month later i was getting on a busy freeway here in atlanta. About the same speed, 45mph, it wouldn't accelerate, but this time it did…
